Impact on readers

The largest impact on readers is that they will be receiving much fresher journals as the publication time is reduced. This will hasten the feedback cycle and interaction of research groups. A second impact is they will receive materials that were simply not available before, e.g., executable programs, three-dimensional models, source code, and parameter sets in a form directly usable by them. Readers will essentially receive more useful information faster with fewer errors than they currently receive.
